Episode Details

On Friday's show: Today is Juneteenth, which celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people in this country. And while we tend to think of Galveston when we conjure the holiday's history, a local researcher tells us about what he found that suggests the first festivities happened in Houston.

Also this hour: A new book celebrates the stories and legacy of Riverside General, Houston’s former Negro hospital. Journalist Carlton Houston talks about his book, The Houston Negro Hospital, and shares his own family's connection to its story.

Then, our non-experts break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And Sunday is Make Music Day, a free celebration of musical performance around the world. We talk with Houston vocalist Dria Thornton about her music and career.
